Scaling Correlations Among Central Massive Objects and Their Host Galaxies

TL;DR

This paper investigates the correlations between central massive objects like black holes and dense stellar clusters with their host galaxy properties, revealing potential unified relationships and astrophysical insights.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive analysis of correlations between Compact Massive Objects and host galaxy characteristics, suggesting a unified framework for understanding their formation.

Findings

Correlations between CMOs and galaxy properties are identified.

Evidence suggests CMOs may form through similar processes.

Preliminary astrophysical conclusions about galaxy evolution are discussed.

Abstract

The central regions of galaxies show the presence of super massive black holes and/or very dense stellar clusters. Both such objects seem to follow similar host-galaxy correlations, suggesting that they are members of the same family of Compact Massive Objects. Here we investigate a huge data collection of Compact Massive Objects properties to correlate them with absolute magnitude, velocity dispersion and mass of their host galaxies. We draw also some preliminary astrophysical conclusions.
